Description
| For a long period, China’s environmental law has been dubbed a ‘paper tiger’ due to the truism that China’s environmental legislation is plentiful but not properly enforced. During the past few years, there have been impressive strides made by Chinese policymakers to address the non-compliance and weak enforcement of China’s environmental law. As a result, China has bolstered a toolbox approach of environmental law enforcement, which provides law enforcers with a variety of instruments to induce compliance.
This seminar will provide a comprehensive and dynamic analysis of the available mix of (public) enforcement instruments and their relative importance under the current enforcement regime of China’s environmental law by taking the recent legal and policy developments into account. More particularly, the de facto application of the smart mix of administrative and criminal enforcement tools in China will be critically assessed, by conducting a law and economic analysis on the public enforcement data of China’s environmental law. |
